Isn't the idea that they'd say "Sorry, your device isn't supported for our repairs, and we're unable to send anything back to you"? So the user gets nothing?

That's what Rossman would like you to believe, but that's not what actually happens. They send it back to you.

As pointed out under his video, American version of repair conditions say that they won't send back, while European that they will.

If that's the case, then that's fine.

Another article I came across suggested that Samsung would "destroy" the device, but nothing about Google doing that. I thought that that's what all the rage was about, but instead it might just be clickbait, lol
